SOLD G&L M2500 Custom Order Empress — Under 8lbs!!!

***EDITED 7/8/20 AT 8 PM -- SOLD PENDING PAYMENT***

Empress body G&L M2500 in excellent+ condition with original HSC in like new condition (custom order matching headstock with “model number delete” option). This is an exceptional bass in every way and, at just under 8lbs, it weighs nearly 2lbs less than most M2500’s! It amazes me every time I pick it up. Light as a feather and such a pleasure to play! I put Sadowsky style black aluminum indexed knobs on the bass and moved the bottom strap button about 4” up the body (I do this with almost all of my basses because they hang better on a strap with the bottom button above the centerline).

$1,250 shipped CONUS.

Not interested in trades unless you have a really nice medium scale (or if for some reason you care to offer a straight trade on something I could easily sell for more than the price of this bass). [EDIT: I would also consider trading for almost any 4 or 5 string Muckelroy or a 5-string Alien Audio under 9lbs (plus appropriate cash on my end, as needed).]

Thanks for looking!

 

I know! I’m already having second thoughts.

 

I certainly can't claim to have done an exhaustive search, but I hunted around quite a bit to find this one and can only recall seeing one other M2500 with an Empress body for sale. I don't why they don't build a lot more 5-strings with Empress bodies (or 4-strings for that matter). Not only is it light weight, but it's extremely resonant. I keep wondering if there is something I'm missing?

 

I’m out of town but will post a pic Monday evening when I get home. I just put a small black screw in the original hole so it would be easy to put the strap button back in the original spot.

 

Thanks! I think so too.
